Calcium levofolinate

Description:
Calcium levofolinate, also known as levoleucovorin, is a pharmaceutical compound primarily used as a chemoprotective agent in cancer therapy. It is the calcium salt of levofolinic acid, an active form of folate that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and DNA synthesis. This compound is characterized by its ability to enhance the efficacy of certain chemotherapeutic agents, particularly in the treatment of colorectal cancer, by mitigating the toxic effects of drugs like methotrexate. Calcium levofolinate is typically administered intravenously or orally and is known for its relatively low toxicity profile compared to other folate derivatives. Its mechanism of action involves the stabilization of the binding of 5-fluorouracil to thymidylate synthase, thereby improving the therapeutic outcomes in patients. Additionally, it is important to note that calcium levofolinate is often used in combination with other medications to optimize treatment regimens. As with any pharmaceutical, proper dosing and administration are critical to achieving the desired therapeutic effects while minimizing potential side effects.
